JOHN ROS BOWERS “John” One of Augusta’s outstanding athletes al- though it took his senior year for every one to find it out. Playing football two weeks after his appendix had been removed showed that his body was ready for any job offered it. Better known for his success on the swimming team where he led his team to victory after victory. His aca- demic progress kept pace with all his other achievements. His comical jokes were enjoyed by all. LEROY D. BOWMAN “Toee Had Leroy worked up to his capabilities you would have found his name high on the Honor Roll and equally so in athletics and Military but he was content to go along doing enough to make the good grade. Full of fun and always ready with a joke to ease the tension in a serious situa- tion. His work on the Jay-Vee basketball team was evidence of what he could do when he set his mind on it. WILLIAM L. BURNETT “Bud” The fellow who serves you best in the Mess Hall, the fellow responsible for the wonderful art work on the fly-pages of this Recaty, Ar- tistically inclined as his work indicates. A good athlete in whatever sport he takes part. Popular and willing always to help his fellow cadet. STUART CAMPBELL, JR. “Bud” Clever as a cadet could be as his aim in the rifle range showed, his academics proved by his appearance on the Honor Roll. Quite a man in military for his precision in that department won for him a enviable high rating with the PMST Department. A social lion whenever a dance was in session and popular and highly respected by cadet and faculty alike. YZ

JOHN W. BAIR, JR. “Tock?” Athletics are his main interest at Augusta. Varsity Football and Baseball were the better for his participation but his main love is in swim- ming where he starred in the 50 and 100 Yard free style and diving. Where he helped his team- mates to many a victory. Average student al- though he realizes that studies must come first to achieve his goal in college life. MANUEL G. BALBIS “Maweet”’ Undoubtedly the most popular Spanish-speak- ing cadet at Augusta and for many reasons: He has a keen mind which accounts for his out- standing work in academics, especially Biology and Chemistry where his record is one for all to equal. He keeps his academics paralleled with his athletics where he played a bang-up game on the Tiger Eleven and Co-Captained the wrestling team. FRED R. BASQUE, JR. “Teqd’’ Mention any thing connected with an arms weapon and up pops the name of Ted Basque for his love in the military has helped make the armory a place for wonder when G. I. rolls around. His work on the line and in the back- field of the Tiger Football Team was instrumen- tal in making the record the team made. As Manager of the Wrestling team his quaint re- marks kept the team from being on edge in many a close match. M. DANIEL BOGER “Dan A rare combination of brawn and brains that did deliver the bacon. His work as the hard hit- ting co-captain of the Varsity Eleven helped keep up team morale in our poor win season. As an officer he was an example for all to emulate and he equalled this example in his academics where his work in math and science kept him on the honor roll regularly. A leader and one of the most popular cadets in the school.

HOWARD McC. CARTER, JR. “Herk” The mere mention of “H-Q” Co. and the name of “Herk” Carter cannot be overlooked whatever way the discussion may turn. A harder worker or officer in any company would be hard to find and a more conscientious one is impos- sible, His artistic talent equals his other abilities as a trip to the “jade green and black decorated” room will prove beyond any doubt. Any one hungry will always find “food” in 120 on the first stoop the rendez-vous for the gourmets, HAROLD Y. CHOW “Charlie” A master in many activities at Augusta and tops in all. The decorations at all dances showed his master touch; his work in biology, chemistry and geology are the works of a master; his athletic ability rarely exhibited as a spare game on the Tiger schedule—a few appearances in swimming and a game or two in Lacrosse told us in actions that he was an athlete. To top all this was his sense of humor and loyalty to all that he considered the true Augusta of his heart’s desire. HOWARD E. COLLIFLOWER, JR. Ud beats ba Whenever a test was announced Colliflower got down to work to assure his making the best possible grade. He never did things by halves but with all his heart and soul whether it be his work in military, Roller Rifles, fencing or his first love—lacrosse. When he came on guard he set an example for all top guard details to follow. A friend to those who strive for the highest of ideals. GEORGE W. DAVIS, JR. “Bull” Seldom if ever did one see this fellow without his famous smile. Never one to let his or some one else’s worries bother him however serious they might be. Quiet but serious of pur- pose and that to make sure his attempts to enter college well-prepared in fundamentals. Popular and one of the best liked new cadets.
